That depends,
The males don't care, Mexican women will wear you down until you become a Catholic.

And you know what that means? Making your own tortillas and lunch if you do not knuckle under....

This topic has really nothing to do with religion or church and state.

It has to do with compassion and sensibility.

There are components of both sides that have neither.

As the media and people here have commented...

Would we allow the Japanese to put a Shinto Shrine on the deck of the USS Arizona?

Would the Jews be allowed a synagogue at Auschwitz?

Would we put a McDonalds or Starbucks in Hiroshima or Nagasaki? We probably already have.....

This has to do with respect and not wanting to make YOUR religion/country or politics seem like an uncaring, brutal and just plain mean and nasty import to our country.

The Asshat that wants to build the mosque close to GZ shows no compassion or any of the other common senses that I described, that is the way, not so much of the typical Muslim, but of the AHs refuse to allow modern sensibility or meeting at the middle point of the problem.

I have know muslims that were so patently pious, but did not respect the people or the country (ours) that they live in.

SOME muslim men beat down the females to dress a certain way, not to talk to men etc. Yet, they have no problem with cheating, looking at porn or drinking like fish.

Those are the two faced morons who cast a bad light on the rest of the group that do have compassion, common sense and respect for other people.

On the other hand?

When the reports of the Anti-mosque groups begin to pull some kind of shenanigans before, during and after it's built?

Well, TS, some of us asked you not to build there our of respect for the moment and area.

You didn't listen, so bite the bullet.

They (the idiots that feel the need to build the mosque) will use any and all problems they encounter as fodder to crucify us in the world forum of public opinion.

I know that sponsors of the mosque snicker and laugh because OUR rules allow them to build, what is essentially an EFF U to what we endured then and now.

So,
We'll have to play by the rules concerning this building, but we should not treat them with anymore apathy than we do with other sites that recruit, endorse or support any kind of fanatic terrorist morons that want to set up shop.


Plus, the Muslims that think this is a bad idea have not come forth to say, "Dude, some morons that made us look stupid then are the reason we
are being told that we should not build a mosque in the area...'


So we have to look at this as more of a political statement-not a religious one.

I am sure there are some Muslims that cringe when they heard the news.....I don't care about them. It's the Iman Imax Tabbouleh that makes me a little leary of the whole process.

Sometimes you just cannot trust the guy in charge, Look at the Catholics and the priests...
